Ozzie's going to be kicking himself when he sees that pitch location. He had a fastball RIGHT DOWN BROAD STREET....pop up instead of a well hit ball. That's NOT the pitch to be taking.
We had an off day yesterday, and an offday on Thursday coming.
Why you throw Parsons in a high leverage situation makes zero sense. So yeah, we can pin that on Snit. And not pinch-hitting for Riley there was also a bad move when you have a deep bench. Ender or Mac should've taken that AB because they can actually make contact at least.
Riley is embarassing. I don't think not swinging at fastballs at your eyes is something that can be learned. That's just stupid. He does it every time.
Why was Riley hitting with 2 runners on base and 2 outs vs a very good closer?? Braves had 2 LHH(Mac and Inciarte) and a switch hitter(Camargo). still available.
This has to rank as the worst game ever managed by Snit. Did this game open AA's eyes?? Riley doesn't belong in Atl and Snit is a poor game manager.
